Lifetime Traffic & Maps Lifetime Traffic The 8000 PRO HD includes live and predictive traffic, which helps optimize routes and avoid costly delays. Traffic setting s are controlled using the Traffic Tab on the map page. There are two types of traffic data: • Live Traffic is real-time traffic flow and incident data that is transmitted over FM radio to your unit. Live Traffic information is available for major highways in most major cities. Toggling Live Traffic off will remove traffic display from the map and not account for traffic delays during route calculation. Note: Live Traffic will only be displayed if your unit is plugged in using the included cigarette lighter adapter. • Predictive Traffic is based off of historic traffic flow in an area. It can be used to show which roads are typically slow at your current time of the day. Predictive traffic information is not as timely as Live Traffic, but has significantly better coverage on smaller roads and in less populated areas. Predictive traffic will always be overridden if there is Live Traffic information in the same area. Please remember that Predictive Traffic is an indicator of historic traffic trends and does not reflect the actual traffic flow in real-time.
